I wonder who f***** up the books most, the guy who made this or Peter Jackson.
Wow, you must really hate the movies. My favorite is the Silmarillion. But I haven't read it in ages. *Hopes he doesn't get asked what he read.*
Nah I enjoyed the movies, the part I liked least was when they were in the mountain running around from Smaug and made the golden statue. Then the dragon has all of them in front of him and is just like, screw you guys I'm going to destroy the city over there. Made no sense to me whereas in the books they were hidding and Smaug went to the city because he couldn't find them.
I think the Tolkien familly got tired of Peter Jackson though, I'd love if he could make Last Alliance movies.
Ah the Simarillion, excellent book. My username Minyatur comes from the name Elros took when he became the 1rst king of Numenor. What I used prior to Minyatur was Tulkas, the war Valar.
I really do think the books are excellent. I sort of remember now that there was something in the first Lord of the Rings that wasn't the same as the book. It had to do with someone they met on their journey to Mordor. The person was in the book, but not in the movie. You probably know who I'm talking about.
What I like about the Lord of the Rings is the use of the runes. I also like the elvish script, the way it looks. It looks very magical. Tolkien was an absolute virtuoso in forming his mythology.
